Hello there.

Thanks for writing.

You should first go to a gynecologist.

Self medication in abortion can be dangerous
.
It can lead to incomplete abortion, excess bleeding, shock and sepsis.

You need to be under supervision of a doctor whether you go for a medical or surgical abortion.

Since you have taken RU 486, I presume you have had an incomplete abortion or a failed one. As this drug alone is not effective in causing an abortion.

You should get an ultrasound to know the size and site of your pregnancy. Decision of medical or surgical abortion would depend on your ultrasound report and gynecologist.

Take care.
